<h2>Global Species Databases</h2>
As part of the <a href="http://www.species2000.org" target="_blank">Species2000</a> 
initiative <a href="http://www.cabi.org" target="_blank">CABI</a> is incorporating 
Global Species Databases (GSD) and Regional Species Databases (RSD) in the Catalogue 
of Life. GSDs contain complete, internally consistent taxonomy of a single species, 
or all species in a genus or higher taxon, on a global basis. RSDs are derived 
from regional checklists or other lists (e.g. of agriculturally important fungi). 
Some of these data result from in-house work and others have been contributed 
by other experts. We are grateful for these data-sets and full acknowledgement 
to the original compilers is stated. Contact links to compilers web sites where 
additional information (e.g. bibliographies, illustrations and on-line identification 
keys) is available. If you would like to contribute data please contact <a href="mailto:p.kirk@cabi.org">Paul 
Kirk</a>.<br>
<br>
On the GSD search page enter a search term to locate a GSD genus, or click on 
View Order and traverse the taxonomic hierarchy from Order to Family and Genus. 
The search term can be right truncated, e.g. &#8216;hypoxy&#8217; (do not add 
a * or % to the end of the search string - we will do that for you). Click on 
a genus to see all the GSD species entries in Index Fungorum associated with this 
genus. These entries are linked to full publication data for the accepted species 
synonymy.<br>
